The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was the spearhead of the German fighter force in World War II, unchallenged until it faced the Spitfire. It was difficult to fly, though, and nearly one-third were lost in accidents. This Bf 109G ("Gustav") is in the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in Oregon.

Photographer Lyle Jansma started creating 360º views of cockpits in 2005, and has documented historic aircraft in several collections, including the Heritage Flight Museum, Museum of Flight, Erickson Aircraft Collection, Evergreen Air & Space Museum, and the National Museum of the Air Force. A full set of his cockpit views is available on the ACI Cockpit360º App for iOS and Android. Keep visiting this site (airspacemag.com/cockpits) as we add to the gallery below.
